Mum's heartbreak for little girl 'loved beyond measure'

THE grief-stricken mother of a little girl who tragically died at her family's Sunshine Coast property overnight has paid a heartfelt tribute to her little fighter.

"Our little girl was incredibly strong and determined. From the day Elenore came into the world early and born with a defective heart she fought to survive. And she did," her mum Rowena said this morning.

"Elenore was growing up a true little kid. She loved playing in the puddles, making a muddy mess and laughing. So many memories of her and thanks to technology - so many videos of her simply being a little kid."
